JENNINGS in Sunderland has made two appointments.

PHILIP McCREADY, a sales executive from Sunderland, was made redundant from his previous job with Warwick Garage when the company went into liquidation.

ANDREW DAVISON, from Hartlepool, has been appointed as a technician after leaving a small garage in County Durham.

They were placed in their roles by recruitment agency Ingenia.

Mr Davison said: "I love the new challenges of my job. I am used to working on cars, but I'm now carrying out the same work on transits and HGVs, and learning new skills."
